“I’ve really enjoyed my time in Perth and with Fremantle for the past six years and I’m really excited about what this group can achieve.

“I’m just stoked that I’ll be a part of what we’ve got in store.

“We showed in the first half of the year what we can do. There are a lot of young guys coming through and I feel like, with a bit of luck and keeping some guys out on the park next year, it can be really exciting for us.”

Pearce said he was buoyed by his impressive post-injury form as he eyes a return for the start of the 2020 campaign.

“That gives me really good confidence going into next year, that I can do that again,” he said.

“I guess with every little setback that I’ve had with extended time off, my goal hasn’t been to get back to that form, it’s to really take it to a new level and keep improving.

“I’m confident that the amount of pre-season and gym work that I’ll be able to get through, I’ll be able to improve as an athlete and improve as a footballer, which will hopefully, have some really good results next year.”
